Hey if you havn't tried the Darwinia demo i suggest you try it out. It is a very unique strategy game available natively on Linux. I just tried out the demo and it seems really good. It has a very unique gameplay and story line and you don't need a beowolf cluster to run it. If you like you can purchase the full game its only $30. If your on Gentoo both the demo and full game are in Portage.

How does Gentoo get away with having Darwinia in portage? Do you have to purchase a key to unlock it?

I played the Demo a few months back, it is a very interesting and involving game. I also recommend it. Someday soon I will put my money where my mouth is and purchase a copy.

Either you must enter a key or download the file manually from the darwinia site. Portage has a lot of commercial programs so its easy to install not only open source programs.

The ebuild for Darwinia links to the installer file that can be downloaded from the Darwinia site at http://www.darwinia.co.uk/support/linux.html. Portage downloads the installer and installs the game files from the installer along with the required files from the Darwinia CD, so long as the CD is mounted.

Same thing with Unreal Tournament 2004 and stuff like that in general.
